), students enter 24 months of co-op placement/on-line learning, returning to the institutionafter 12 months and 24 months for one-week examination periods (See Figure 2.).Figure 2. Co-op Program ModelThe motivations to start the new program come from a desire to move towards work-basedlearning, empowering student engineers to gain more practical experience while funding a largerpercentage of their own education than through a traditional engineering education. Theevolution of learning technologies empowers the attainment of this goal more so today than inthe recent past. A further motivation is developing a model that can potentially impact the lack ofdiversity in the engineering profession. The demographic of community college students
the world rapidly changes, one must be and continuously learn ready to learn for the duration of their career. Technological growth is inevitable and makes Adapting to new engineering more efficient. One must be technology willing and learn this new technology as it is implemented. Engineering exists in conjunction with many disciplines and quite closely with the business Business knowledge realm. It calls for the understanding of economics, finance, marketing

In 2011, Prasad architected OpenXC, the industry’s first open-source hardware and open-source software platform – an ”innovator’s toolkit” – which launched in 2013 and today is one of the tools used by Ford employee-innovators to design, test and release products and by researchers and experimenters the world over. He also co-founded Ford’s startup-lab in 2012 as a 5-person office; a year later it scaled to become Ford’s Research & Innovation Center Palo Alto and today is a 150-person operation.Dr. Sheri Sheppard, Stanford University Sheri D.

Develop technological currency in the student body.The first priority was identified as the most important with the other two priorities to be carriedout with an eye toward the first. A couple challenges affect the primary goal. First, unlike mostU.S. research institutions with a seperate college of engineering, CSE grants degrees in thephysical sciences, math, computer science, and engineering. Students in science and math areless encouraged by their course curriculum to seek out the use of design and prototypingresources so those students need additional programming and attention if the Anderson Labs is tomore closely reflect the diversity of the college as a whole. Second, the primary space is locatedin the Mechanical

His undergraduate degree is in Agricultural Engineering Technology from Michigan State University.Dr. Joanna Mirecki Millunchick, University of Michigan Professor Millunchick has two distinct areas of research. The first is in Materials Science and involves manipulating matter on the nanoscale in order to enable the design of new electronic materials for opto- electronic and photovoltaic applications. Specifically, she is fascinated by the details of atomic surface structure of compound semiconductors, self assembly of epitaxial nanostructures, and in situ characteri- zation. The second area of research is in Engineering Education, and studies whether student participation in engineering co-curricular
